T'was the last period of school, only an hour away from freedom. Bad news was that class was math, but the good news is that my teacher was a badass. Mr. B managed to make one of the most boring things in world, math, exciting. Mr. B made jokes, was light hearted, but most of all he played video games. At the time, the concept of an adult playing video games was mind boggling.

Right about now you may be asking what this has to with everything. Ill get to that.

So while Mr. B was teaching a lecture about quadratic functions, some of my class mates were having a little conversation about the infamous CoD. Having ears like a hawk, Mr.B made the people have their convo in front of the class.

"CoD, you say?" Exclaimed Mr. B "I remember when games used to cost $70. Also, I fondly remember when video games invoated. Back to the lesson, class."

My class, however, didnt take kindly to this. Call of Duty was the supremo game of their (and techincly my) generation. After class was done, a flame war had started between Mr.B and my peers

"What game is better than CoD? Amazing Graphics, addictive and realistic shooting, and expansive online are just a few things that make it the best of this generation." said one of my classmates.

"I'll give you a game that is better than Call of Duty; Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger didn't have a 3D engine, or online, or even bullets." said Mr. B "I can tell you what it does have, though. A heart. A soul. A story, but most of all characters that you care about, not shoot for a score system."

The next day, I thought about all the words that were flying around in my math class as I went into Gamestop and bought Chrono Trigger for the DS.

Tell me what you thought. Was it good? Could I have done better? Comment and Thanks for reading!

There are 3 things I Know for certain in my short years on this earth: I like writing, love video games, and go on ign almost everyday. With that said, writing a blog about video games on IGN would be a no brainer, right? Right! Now let me introduce myself to you (ya you!) and the IGN community.

1: My favourite game of all time is Pokemon Saphire for the GBB
